PAGE 2SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• IF YOU SMELL GAS:
* Do not light any appliance
* Extinguish any open flame
* Do not touch any electrical switch or plug or unplug anything
* Open windows and vacate building
* Call gas supplier from neighbor's house, if not reached, call fire
department
•This unit must be installed by a qualified installer to prevent the possibility of
an explosion. Your dealer will know the requirements in your area and can
inform you of those people considered qualified. The room heater should be
inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, etc.
•The instructions in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Do not use
makeshift methods or compromise in the installation. Improper installation
will void the warranty and safety listing.

•Contact your local
building officials to
obtain a permit and
information on any
installation restrictions or
inspection requirements
in your area. Notify your
insurance company of this
heater as well.
•It is imperative that
control compartments,
screens, or circulating air
passageways of the heater
be kept clean and free of
obstructions. These areas
provide the air necessary
for safe operation.
•This heater is either approved for natural gas
(NG) or propane (LP). Burning the incorrect
fuel will void the warranty and safety listing and
may cause an extreme safety hazard. Check the
label above the gas control valve to make sure it
matches the fuel being used. Direct questions
about the type of fuel used to your dealer.
•If the flame becomes
sooty, dark orange in
color, or extremely tall,
do not operate the heater.
Call your dealer and
arrange for proper
servicing.
•Do not operate the heater
if it is not operating
properly in any fashion or
if you are uncertain. Call
your dealer for a full
?
explanation of your heater
and what to expect.
•Do not store or use
gasoline or other
flammable liquids in the
vicinity of this heater.
Gas
•Keep all furniture or other
combustible items at least
36" away from the front
of the heater.
•Do not operate if any
portion of the heater was
submerged in water or if
any corrosion occurs.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)PAGE 3
•Do not place clothing or
other flammable items on
or near the heater.
Because this heater can be
controlled by a thermostat
there is a possibility of the
heater turning on and
igniting any items placed
on or near it.
•The viewing glass should
be opened for service
only (see the maintenance
section of this manual).
•Any safety screen or
guard removed for
servicing must be
replaced prior to
operating the heater.
•Operate the heater
according to the
instructions included in
this manual.
•If the main burners do not
start correctly turn the gas
off at the gas control
valve and call your dealer
for service.
•Light the heater using the
built-in piezo igniter. Do
not use matches or any
other external device to
light your heater.
•Never remove, replace,
modify or substitute any
part of the heater unless
instructions are given in
this manual. All other
work must be done by a
trained technician. Don't
modify or replace
orifices.
•Allow the heater to cool
before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning.
•The pilot flame must
contact the thermopile
and thermocouple (see the
illustration to the left). If
it does not, turn the gas
control valve to "OFF"
and call your dealer.
•This unit is not for use
with solid fuel
•Do not place anything
inside the firebox (except
the included fiber logs).
•If the fiber logs become
damaged, replace with
Travis Industries log set.
•Do not touch the hot
surfaces of the heater.
Educate all children of the
danger of a hightemperature heater.
Young children should be
supervised when they are
in the same room as the
heater.
•Instruct everyone in the
house how to shut gas off
to the appliance and at the
gas main shutoff valve.
The gas main shutoff
valve is usually next to
the gas meter or propane
tank and requires a
wrench to shut off.

Floor Protection Requirements
•When the stove is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl or other combustible material other than
wood flooring, the stove must be installed on a metal or wood protection panel extending the full
width and depth of the pedestal (Minimum 24-1/2" (622 mm) wide by 20" (508 mm) deep).
Stove Placement Requirements
•Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent
•Due to the high temperature of the heater, it should be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies. Heater must be placed so no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36" (910
mm) of the front of the heater (e.g. drapes, doors)
?When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet (2130 mm), the
installation is considered an alcove and must meet the following requirements:
•The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 58" (1470 mm) tall
•The alcove must not be more than 48" (1220 mm) deep before the ceiling returns to 7' (2130 mm)
•The alcove must be at least 44-1/2" (1130 mm) wide
•The stove must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of stove, or along
the back of the heater can become blocked.

Gas Line Install
!The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI Z223.1
and the requirements listed below.
!The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPA). For pressures under
1/2 psig (3.45 kPA), isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
•Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.

•With the heater off, the inlet pressure must meet the requirements listed in the table below
?If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough and the total gas load for
the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.
?The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank)
should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed below. Contact the local gas supplier if the
regulator is at an improper pressure.

Vent Requirements
!Always maintain the required 1" clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire
hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
!The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system.

Approved Vent Configurations
estrictor Position
•A vent restrictor is built
into the appliance to
adjust the flow rate of
exhaust gases. This
ensures proper flames
for the wide variety of
vent configurations. The
restrictor consists of a
butterfly valve below the
starter section of pipe
and an adjustment plate
with index holes used to
hold the valve in a fixed
position. Depending
upon the vent
configuration, you may
be required to adjust the
restrictor position. The
charts for approved vent
configurations describe
which position the vent
restrictor must be in.
To Adjust the Restrictor:
1
Determine the correct
restrictor position (see the
charts under "Approved
Vent Configurations" - the
stock position is #1).
2
Remove the screw with a
1/4" nutdriver (or
screwdriver).
3
Rotate the adjustment plate
clockwise until the correct
index hole is below the pivot
point.
4
Insert the screw into the
correct index hole and
tighten.
The eleven holes on the
restrictor plate
correspond to the eleven
restrictor positions.
